925 Union Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

925 Union Avenue is a 5-story, 23-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1905 and currently owned by Christina Pimentel. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns occurring in early 2025, including heating/hot water problems, appliance malfunctions, and multiple violations related to unsanitary conditions including pest infestations. Notable violations were documented in December 2024, affecting multiple apartments (1A and 2E) with issues ranging from plumbing defects to pest infestations, though many of these were subsequently certified as corrected by January 2025.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of various infrastructure and habitability concerns, including plumbing issues (particularly in bathrooms), flooring problems, and pest control challenges. While the property has passed several rodent inspections in 2022, there were periods of rat activity noted in 2017 and 2018. The Department of Buildings conducted multiple inspections between 2020 and 2024 regarding work without permits and ventilation concerns, though no violations were found in these cases.

Bedbug reports from 2021-2025 indicate minimal infestation history, with only one occurrence in 2019 that was subsequently eradicated. The building's maintenance code violations and service requests suggest ongoing challenges with basic building systems and resident comfort. Recent inspections have consistently resulted in violations that require owner correction, particularly in relation to heating systems, plumbing fixtures, and interior surfaces. The presence of multiple unsanitary condition complaints and pest-related issues indicates continued challenges with building maintenance and resident quality of life.
